How to ignore javax files in SonarQube?

Question

I'm trying to run sonar on my Maven 3 project. I am using SonarQube 5.0 with all the latest plugins installed (Java 3.0, Findbugs 3.1, Codecheck 2.2). Additionally, I'm using the latest maven-sonar-plugin to launch.

I'm fairly new to sonar, so I am not entirely sure if I need special configuration to get the Sonar scanning to work. I started with the following error:

java.lang.ClassFormatError: JVMCFRE074 no Code attribute specified; class=javax/servlet/ServletException, method=<init>()V, pc=0

So I tried to add an exclusion to the pom to exclude all javax files, but that doesn't seem to have done anything; I'm still getting the same error messages. What makes me wonder even more is that these are all "WARNINGS", and yet, the sonar build fails.

Is this even the Sonar Java plugin? Is it another plugin (ie: checkstyle or findbugs) that needs to be configured independently? What is causing the build to fail?

I am not including the pom file as there is really no sonar configuration present, save and except the following properties (plus host, url, password, etc):

    <sonar.jdbc.driver>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</sonar.jdbc.driver>
    <sonar.junit.reportsPath>target/surefire-reports</sonar.junit.reportsPath>
    <sonar.java.coveragePlugin>jacoco</sonar.java.coveragePlugin>
    <sonar.jacoco.reportPath>target/jacoco.exec</sonar.jacoco.reportPath>

The output of mvn sonar:sonar (following a mvn clean install):

This looks like an issue with both Checkstyle and PMD plugins.

You can try the solution in the comments from this other question (changing the scope of Java Web dependencies from compile to provided: java.lang.ClassFormatError: JVMCFRE074 no Code attribute specified;class=javax/faces/webapp/FacesServlet, method=<init>()V, pc=0

That's just it. All my javax/j2ee dependencies are already scoped as `provided`. I've even run a dependency:tree on it to validate that I am not missing any. The only way I've managed to avoid this problem is to actually include a full j2ee implementation in my dependencies (even scoped to provided) – Eric B. Mar 20 '15 at 20:02
Would you mind including relevant parts of the linked question here, just to be really really safe? Thanks ;) – Vogel612 Jun 15 '15 at 13:18
